BIG BRAD'S REASON #5 TO ATTEND LAKELAND TOURNAMENT ON OCT. 29-30, 2021
BIG BRAD!!!
Hey Gang!I have a bunch of good reasons for you to attend the next big tournament in Lakeland, Florida on October 29-30, 2021. I am going to highlight them, one by one, so here goes #5
HELP US SUPPORT TABLE TENNIS!
This reason is sort of a serious one, so bear with me on this one. We have been noticing a trend across this Nation and in Florida concerning our sport of Table Tennis. To be blunt, our sport is not growing as much as it should. Other racket sports are rapidly growing, adding new members, adding new facilities and numerous tournaments and daily and weekly schedules. Local Table Tennis Clubs are struggling to survive across the Nation.
At Lakeland Table Tennis, we want to be here for our players, providing playing opportunities every week and high quality USATT sanctioned tournaments all year long. We don't want our sport to fade away, as some think is actually happening.
So, Reason # 5 is that we really need for you to attend our tournaments in Lakeland. We are a Non-Profit Organization in Florida. No one here has a salary. We sometimes struggle to just pay the basic expenses of having tournaments after everything is finalized and paid in full.
When you enter our tournaments in Lakeland, you are allowing us to continue to provide for all of us in our Table Tennis Community!
THANK YOU for your great support of Table Tennis!

BIG BRAD'S REASON #4 TO ATTEND THE LAKELAND TOURNAMENT ON OCT. 29-30, 2021
BIG BRAD !!!
Hey Gang,
Wow! I want to thank everyone for coming to our tournament in Lakeland. We have almost 100 players signed up with only a handful of places left. There is still time to register. You can register online or you can text me on my cell phone and I will put you in the tournament, if there is still room. We can take 121 players for a full tournament and we are getting pretty darn close as of right now.
So, everyone is asking what is Reason #4 for coming to the Lakeland Tournament on Oct. 29-30, 2021 and believe me, it is one of my favorite reasons!
COOKIES!!!
Yep, Brad's Famous Cookies is one of my favorite reasons. I always have a wide selection of cookies on the Control Table for everyone at the tournament! BUT, I need your help. Sometimes I get way too many cookies and when the tournament is over, I have to eat all of them myself. So, please come by the Control Table in the afternoon, after lunch, and get yourself some extra energy for those late matches in the tournament.
SPECIAL COOKIE ALERT!!!
For this tournament, I am going to bring a special type of Halloween cookies for everyone to enjoy. I love to eat the cookies that look like pumpkins with the orange icing. You will have to come by the Control Table and help yourself. So, that is Big Brad's Reason #4 to come to the Lakeland Tournament and I consider it one of my favorite reasons. So come out and have a great day at the tournament and enjoy some of Big Brad's Cookies!!!

BIG BRAD'S REASON #3 TO ATTEND THE LAKELAND TOURNAMENT OCT. 29-30, 2021
BIG BRAD !!!
Hey Gang,
We are approaching 90 players in the Colossal Round Robin Event scheduled for Saturday morning, Oct. 30, 2021. I want to thank everyone for signing up. As you know, we cannot have such great tournaments in Lakeland without our great players, so Thanks!!!
Now, for Big Brad's Reason #3 to come to our fabulous tournament. This is something that is important to a lot of players and also to myself as the tournament director. Reason #3 is QUICK RESULTS! Who wants to play in a tournament and then wait a week and sometimes even longer to see the results posted? Not me! So, just to let you know, when we finish our tournament on Saturday afternoon, I submit all the results to the USATT within 10 minutes of the final match. Yep, the USATT has the results before we have a chance to sweep the gymnasium floor! And then, when the USATT officials come to work on Monday morning, guess what! The tournament results are there waiting for them to process and post on the USATT website. We usually have the results on the USATT website on Monday morning or afternoon. Waiting around for a week or two is just not right in this new high-tech world.
In addition to the USATT posting of the results, we also post every single match in the tournament with every single score on our Lakeland Website. So, you can go to our website and analyze how you did and how all the other players did with their actual scores of all games for all matches. How sweet is that! Also we have thousands and thousands of pictures and videos on the Lakeland Website, going back to the year 2002!
So, now you know Big Brad's Reason #3 to attend our super tournament on Oct. 29-30, 2021. BUT WAIT!!! There are still more reasons, so STAY TUNED FOR BIG BRAD'S REASON #4 to come to beautiful Lakeland, Florida!!! IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

BIG BRAD'S REASON # 2 TO ATTEND THE BIG LAKELAND USATT TOURNAMENT
BIG BRAD'S REASON #2 TO ATTEND THE LAKELAND TOURNAMENT ON OCT 29-30, 2021
BIG BRAD !!!
Hey Gang,
Thanks for the 80+ players who have already signed up for the big tournament in Lakeland on Oct. 29-30 2021. We hope to fill it up with 121 players!
Here is Big Brad's Reason #2 to come to this great tournament. When I was young and handsome, I drove half-way across the state to go to a table tennis tournament. I paid my money and I had my new paddle all ready. BUT!!! I got beat in the first round, so I only got to play 2 matches. I waited around and watched others win, but I decided if I was going to a tournament, I wanted to play more than 2 matches or maybe 4, if I entered 2 events.
So, that is why we offer the Colossal Round Robin format. You actually get to play a bunch of matches, even if you lose, and you get your money's worth. In most of our Colossal RR tournaments, you get to play 9 matches and maybe even 10, if the number of entrants is right. And the matches are against other players who are in a similar rating range, so it is very competitive.
We have 24 first-class Butterfly Tables and the best nets available. We use only the best Nittaku Balls, good lighting and solid hardwood floor in the gym area. Yep, the balls bounce when they hit the floor!
So, Gang, come on out and get your money's worth, play competitive matches and have a big time! You can all do this. Also, please stop by the control table and share the love!
That's Big Brad's Reason #2 to travel from all around the state and beyond to beautiful Lakeland, Florida. Come on out and have a great time with some fantastic friends!!!
KEEP TUNED IN FOR BIG BRAD'S REASON #3--IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!!
